"This isn't the first time that Muslim religious practice has been deliberately singled out. Following a 2017 Supreme Court directive, which ruled a form of "instant" Muslim divorce unconstitutional, Modi criminalized the act with a three-year jail term. No other religion’s divorce proceedings have become a criminal offense."

Muslim women wanted triple talaq banned. Muslim men could use it but not women. Divorce for Muslim women is not anywhere near that easy.

see the placards in the picture. Handwriting is same. This means these are written by someone and placed in these girls hands. Clear message these girls are mere puppets in the show. Show driver is someone else.

The BJP "protecting" Muslim women and girls from religious coercion sounds like Putin "denazifying" Ukraine.

I assume no one is making Sikh men take off their turbans and kirpans.

Ridiculous article. No connection with triple talak. No other divorce process been criminalised because other communities have codified their rules and it isn't instant. Imaginary crimes - have you even spoken to those victims or heard their proceedings or read their FIRs.
